Lost the original message so I'm replying to Rick's...
Right click in TBird's left tab on your account name then choose
Settings. That will open "Account Settings" then choose "Composition
& Addressing". The top box should be unchecked (Compose messages in
HTML format).
Between Rick's suggestion and this you should be ready to go!
Thanks guys. I've followed Rick's suggestion, which was the options I
was looking for but couldn't find. Removing the check box against
'Compose Messages in HTML' is something I didn't really want to do as
this is a global option rather than a domain level option, plus I
communicate with a number of different clients where the mail in html is
the preferred option.
